Things can always get worse
It seems that when you have an administration like this in charge, anything is possible. Well, anything bad. Case in point - even during one of the worst military and foreign policy blunders in recent memory, the Bush administration is at work planning the next one:
Excuse me, what now? Didn't we just go through this, oh, I don't know, four years ago, with another country starting with "Ira?" I mean, I'd like to discount this as folks inside the pentagon just finding things to do, and assume that this will never make its way out into real policy, but hey, that's what I thought at this point in 2002.

What is the blunder to which you refer: Iraq or Korean War or the or the 1917 Russian Revolution or Germany's taking of the Rhineland or the Soviet's erection of the Iron Curtain or the Cuban missle crisis?
The world is place full of suprise and danger. Ignoring it does not make it go away. Diplomacy does not solve every problem. Sometimes only a military option sloves a problem.
